They warned me about the road I chose But I was too blind to see Said every step away from God Would only bury me They handed me the holy book I laughed and turned away Said heaven was for weak old men And tomorrow was another day There was a voice that walked beside me Ever since I was young Looked just like me, talked just like me Finished every sentence I begun I thought he was my twin brother The only one who understood But every time he spoke into my ear He led me away from good They told me light and darkness Were fighting for my soul But I called it superstition And never took control Must be a cold day in hell So tell me what have we done Lord, take me out of my misery I thought heaven was a bunch of tales So now I need to get up there Must be a cold day in hell Everything I built came undone Lord, save me from the man I've been I thought heaven was a bunch of tales So now I need to get up there Get up there, you gotta get up there Get up there, get up there You gotta get up there The older that I grew The louder that voice became Telling me there was no God And faith was just a game And he told me I was my own king That truth was what I chose So I followed every word he said Anywhere the darkness goes Then one night in the silence When there was nowhere left to run I realized that all those years That voice was not my own Every warning came back to me Every word I ignored And suddenly the stories Didn't sound like myths anymore Must be a cold day in hell So tell me what have we done Lord, take me out of my misery I thought heaven was a bunch of tales So now I need to get up there Must be a cold day in hell Everything I built came undone Lord, save me from the man I've been I thought heaven was a bunch of tales So now I need to get up there Get up there, you gotta get up there Mhmm, Lord, can you hear my voice Get up there, you gotta get up there Get up there Must be a cold day in hell So tell me what have we done Lord, take me out of my misery I thought heaven was a bunch of tales So now I need to get up there Must be a cold day in hell Everything I built came undone Lord, save me from the man I've been I thought heaven was a bunch of tales So now I need to GET UP Get up there, you gotta get up there Get up there, you gotta get up there Get up there, you gotta get up there Get up there, you gotta get up there
